DiY Fashion Tutorial - How to Sew a Zipper Pouch Clutch Bag
how do i knot the thread? is it doubled? i'm very new to this and i'm so confused 😭😭😭😭
When I knot my thread, I like to double the end of it - just an inch or so. It makes the knot thicker. Otherwise, sometimes the knot can pull through the fabric when you're tightening up the stitches. Alternately, you can quadruple the knot, but I think doubling the end of the thread is easier/faster. Tie twice and I'm done. The thread should not be doubled when sewing.
@@smarmyclothes okay, thank you so much!!
This is very similar to what I want to make with the insul-brite but I'm still learning how to use it. If I wanted to use another layer of batting, such as Warm & Natural, would I put it on top of the insul-bright on the side the cat would lay on, or under it so that it is near the floor outer part? I’m guessing you don’t want to block the insul-bright but wasn’t sure. Or maybe one layer on each side to make it reversible?
That's a good question! The Insulbright instructions for a potholder actually suggest you put a layer of batting between two layers of Insulbright. I don't think that would do much for you in the case of a pet bed since you're not trying to keep the heat OUT but in. I *think* the batting would probably allow enough air/heat transfer without blocking the Insulbright that you could put it on the inside... but I haven't tested it, so it might be better to err on the side of putting it on the outside.
I just found this channel. She is hilarious and I love this pattern!
This just happens to be my all time fave Misfits song
WONDERFUL! Love your lighthearted , forthright commentary!! THANKS!
THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH
Lovely neckband for finishing raw edges of shirt but not really a collar.
This was a great tutorial! I resized my shirt in less than an hour! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for making it so easy to understand. 😊
Thank you sooo much!!! I’ve seen videos about this stitch but they always went fast
What stitch did you use to sew it closed using the machine?
Just a regular old straight stitch, and I try to stitch about 1/8" from the edge. That way there's very little seam allowance showing once it's finished.
@@smarmyclothes ok thank you so much for the quick reply. Do you have a Facebook group?
Thank you just what I was looking for ❤ can’t wait to start my project
Awesome! Always keep a rib cage shirt in my wardrobe, right now I have three, but when time comes for a new rib cage shirt imma do this instead of buying one! 🩻

I PUT MY SELF IN THIS HELL HOLE HOLE ALL ANIMALS LIVING A ƁETTER LIFE THEN ME THEY ARE SO ĹIFE THEN THEY ARE SO HAPPY THEN ME.ALL SO HAPPY THEN ME I AM NOT HAPPY HAPPY OMG I HATE THIS IS NOT NOT PUSH ME AWAY FROM MYSELF DEBRA MATHESON
Love this!!
I have been looking for a pattern for this skirt for a week now! Thank you so much! I know this is a really old video but if you ever see this know that I am so thankful!!!
I loved this video so much, very informative and creative, I learned so much & definitely will be making shirts for me & my family!!
both of my walking feet were under $10
I love the idea, and I’m not meaning to say anything negative just slight suggestion….because the placement of bottom of rib cage is not the most flattering to the natural breast kinda giving the impression the breast is lower the rib cage, or maybe this look works better on smaller cup sizes, I’m new to this so maybe I am over thinking it….so when I try this I am wondering what I can do to maybe fix this gravitational look? Maybe this is actually the most realistic….so if I am wrong please don’t tear me to shreds it’s just an honest observation because I plan to rock this look too
Maybe wider at bottom of rib cage would do it?
I’ve had titty related issues when it comes to crafting aswell lmfao. Try scaling up the design, as smaller designs are more prone to morphing when the fabric is manipulated/stretched. Also, line up the stencil closest to your natural rib cage placement, as this will give the fabric a natural position that imitates the way breasts sit under the rib cage normally. Idk if I worded this well but I hope it helps :)
@@rainman9882 thanks for getting what I meant cuz I know it’s not meant to be anatomically correct, and I am sure it’s just practice to figure out size and placement to the body which is why it’s best to use a chalk pen before committing to permanent markings….
Love your cadence and attitude lol you rock
Why, thank you!
YAY I FOUND YOU AGAIN! I used to follow your tutorials 10+ years ago. I'm trying to get back into sewing because it used to bring me joy. Glad to see you on YT. 🖤🥳😁
Great tips!
I know this video is old, but maybe you'll see this anyway. Been using kids glue on fabric for years, works great. Another trick is to use a lighter to burn the ends of the zipper and do a tack stitich on the end to strenghten it. Great Video.
Thanks for the tips!
I love it!!! Thank you!!!
Wow gorgeous
Thank you
Thanks, excellent tutorial, glad I found you, now I follow you 😁
It’s looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing this information of cutting this type of skirts. i love it’s and glad now how to put the electric on it’s too..🤍🤍🤍
Thanks!!!! Awesome video!!!!
<3
😁
This is the best tutorial ever. The way you showed the math!
Excellent video! Very helpful
thanks so much! this is the best visualization of this stitch that I have seen. Extremely helpful
Thank you for helping me out with this
This is the best tutorial I have seen. I don't have sewing machine, I don't know how to sew and I don't fully understand the terms BUT I visually understand everything that was going on and I'm ready to tackle my Renaissance fair skirt. Thank you very much, here goes nothing 😆 💕
My circle hole is way to big, I watched your explanation 6 times and followed it when I felt comfortable enough. Now I don't know what to do or where I went wrong 😭
If you put a piece of elastic in your waistband with a slit cut in so you can fish the elastic out, you can gather the fabric to fit your waist at different sizes by tying a knot in the elastic. Think like how you cinch a hoodie Hood with the pull cord but with a hidden elastic inside of the waistband.
New to working with leather. Been sewing 55 years and have wanted to make a simple leather tote. Have made many using all kinds of fabric….except leather. Thanks for your video and your tips. I’ll definitely follow them. I’m a quilter, and I have a walking foot, so I’ll use that. Thank you a bunch for your info 😊.
Thanks, Sharon!
To make patterns like this shown , is not quick an easy. Fold your well fitting undies in the middle and copy them taking a transparent paper or plastic bag and mark the lines of front and turn it and mark the back.
Outstanding video. The content is all there and I learned what I needed but the production! You pulled this whole thing off without a single "ummmm" or "ooooops" or any of the other silly crap most content creators offer. The volume, the synch, script, lighting. Just... Outstanding. Thanks for being born. 😂
Hi, thanks for the tutorial l. Can you share how much poly fill is required for an 18×18 pillow roughly
It comes in different sized bags and has info on the outside of the bag -- the 32 oz bag says you can make two 18x18" pillows, so 16 oz per pillow.
Thanks, this helps!
This is a brill vid Ty I've been using a Teflon foot but it's not helped but I have a roller foot and a walking foot So be trying those today ty again. I use a heavy denim needle this seams to work a lot better
Silly question but when instruction says fold in half (to shape the pointy bit at ends) is it fold lengthwise? manythanks June
Thank you!
Will you please do this square style with denim and plaid fabric 😮❤🖤
How you place the patterns onthe fabric?
Perfect ❤
I love your village-you are so very creative. I use clay and am going to attempt to make it that way. Thanks for the video!
I have another question please. I am going to try Insulbrite like you suggested which sounds great for a few outdoor cats on a porch. When attaching it to the fabric, is the metallic looking side against the back of the fabric? It looked like that in the video but wanted to be sure, or does it matter? I am very happy you made this tutorial. Thanks again.
Love it, just what I was looking for. I found your channel because I was looking for beds made with mylar for feral cats. Can the Insulbrite be machine washed and dried? Thanks.
It can be machine washed and dried. I have beds I made 7 years ago that are still in great shape after many wash/dry cycles.
perfect for my last minute mecromancer cosplay! thank you <3
Thank you for the tutorial! I adjusted the measurements to make treat bags for my kids and sewed along with the video. Imagine my surprise when I neared the end and had to pull the entire bag out of a 1 inch gusset hole 😅. I managed to get it done though and the final result looks great!
